The Air Co. Vodka is a new spirit created through an unlikely process to help offer consumers an eco-friendly product that's focused on improving the environment. Made with excess carbon, the vodka has been distilled by the brand by pulling in carbon from the atmosphere using a multi-ton conversion reactor before transforming it into a spirit with a 40% ABV.
The vodka contains around the same amount of carbon that eight trees would take in each day per bottle and is ultra-purified to ensure it's free from any impurities, carbohydrates, gluten and sugar. The Air Co. Vodka is only available for purchase in Brooklyn where it's made to further enhance the local, emissions-cutting profile of the spirit.
